Blood, Fire, Death: The Swedish Metal Story (Extreme Metal)

Great book and pretty concise on the whole Swedish metal scene and it’s many sub genres. Unlike a lot of similar books the author did their best to keep their biases out of the writing. A must read for anyone interested in heavy metal and the culture around it.

This book covers a mix of metal genres in Scandinavia and will cover so familiar ground for many fans, but it won't dwell on any one area (except maybe the pervasiveness of satanism) and instead covers a diverse set of perspectives and topics. The authors present interactions with band members objectively and the amount of time they put into their research is evident. Overall I liked it a lot and ended up finding the chapter on Bathory very memorable.

Great read

Fast shipping!!! One day!!! Excellent condition!!

Very good book any metal fan would like it has a few pages of colored pictures

Best book I've read on Heavy Metal. It has everything!

The first parts of the book are certainly not boring, but they pale in comparison to what comes in later chapters. I had no idea how some bands (like Shining) took their live acts to such extremes.Bottom line is if you love The Metal, history and you like to read, by all means get this book!

Great edition! full of anecdotes and facts you probably would never know about if not for readig this book. essential for swedish metal fans

Great book.
